[BusyBox] telnetd in kernel 2.6 segfaults (devfs)

Nope.

I set up a minimal root filesystem which contains little more than a basic
directory structure and a statically compiles busybox binary. The
/etc/init.d/rcS script (which is called by busybox's default internal
inittab when when no /etc/inittab is found) contains just:

mount -t proc /proc /proc

When I boot this system using kernel 2.4, dev and pts filesystems get
automatically mounted.

When I boot it using kernel 2.6, only dev filesystem gets automatically
mounted.

Since I use exactly the same root filesystem in both cases, the difference
is obviously in the kernel. Maybe it's adefault behaviour that has changed
for the 2.6 series.

Nacho.
